All of these people crying like the above while saying: "listen to your community", do not represent all of the community.
Just because the loud minority doesn't recognize the echo-chamber they've build for themselves, doesn't mean they are in the majority.

I personally am looking forward to get to try some of the stuff I know works on league start, but haven't yet played.

... and also, the end-game just became SO much more customizable with some of those keystones, and I'm especially hyped for SSF/PL, as they give a lot of choice.


You mean like solely playing Scion every league just to get my homebrew builds gimped regardless? Poison Storm Rain straight nerf, not because of temporal chains, but because of Strength of Blood changes. Never again am I gonna brew my own build.

Edit: Says the Player who played srs, boneshatter and lightning arrow this league fml. Double Standards. At least I tried Hexblast Ignite and Poison Storm rain on an Ascendant.

Why remove totem taunt from mastery?!?!?!?!?
Well, yet another league I will save money and spend the whole 0£ on supporting this game...

Least based gigachad POE enjoyer


Yeah the keystones are nutty. Also a lot of small things, like the occultist's freeze mechanic. I still wonder if I can freeze Eater of Worlds, because that mechanic is essentially buffed and even for normal monsters...I get screen wide area coverage, which is great.

This buff for bosses could enable the mastery that makes the enemies take 5% increased damage for each second they've been frozen, up to 50%. Basically 10 seconds required to get the full value. You can reach it faster now.

Maybe that's why they nerfed temp chains duration? Does it affect freeze duration on enemies? Because that was kinda random and hit my soulrend build lol.

Im not even remotely surprised by this. What actually shocks me is that a lot of people actually thought that GGG would change their ways.

After all this time this is what players get... more nerfs and more ascendancies DESTROYED. Chieftain, Guardian and Gladiator are by far the worst 3 classes in the game and GGG made Guardian and Chieftain even worse.

Minions are still trash unless you want to invest mirrors to play golems or anything that is not SRS or skelly mages.

Welcome to another bow-tornado-LA-ice shot/COC ice spear/RF league .
Again the top 4 ascendancies will be : Deadeye, Pathfinder, Occultist and Juggernaut.

Vengeant Cascade was carrying a very weak archetype - that's why most people started using bows etc again - because VC actually made it viable for many people.



What a load of BS.

- TS has been around forever and will continue to be after this.
- LA was already strong before, and will continue to be strong even with the nerf (removal) of VC.
- SST saw a huge rise, but most of that can be attributed to the crazy shields available from Crucible.
- MS got the support gem now, which albeit isn't great for the above 3 builds, is still insane for the way MS works.

These have been some of the most dominating builds this league, and I suspect we'll still see plenty in the top in 3.22.

Your post is a good example of what I tried to highlight.
It seems that people want you to nerf other people's shit, just not their own.

Not sure if it's hypocrisy, but everyone surely believe they are in the majority. We're probably all in the minority compared to the vast silent player base out there.

Guardian is literally far better now, idk what are you talking about. And we didn't even see the new minions in action, so it could be even better.
Heck, you didn't even play with the new support gems.

Classic case of someone that likes to talk smack and throw rocks for no reason.

Can we get details on Tawhoa, Forest's Strength? How it works with Ancestral Call/Fist of War? What's the cooldown on it if any? Are the damage numbers the same?

The player who just said he was happy with the meta, and that he like to try more of the current meta builds that he hasn't tried? Yes, I guess he did ;)
